To park on the camp grounds you need a Discovery pass or pay the $10 daily fee.
My group parked in front of Maple Valley Trail and it connects into Steam Donkey.
There are a few (very minimal) uphills. It’s a very good hike to introduce someone into hiking and how to read maps. I’d say all ages can do it. The water streams are dry in some areas and their are a ton of bridges (8+). Different shapes and sizes.
The bugs are starting to come out! They weren’t bad today but I’m sure in a couple weeks they will be. When walking by a pond we found salamanders swimming around. That was super cool!
This hike is SUPER close to Rocky Brook Falls so if you have a few extra minutes and want to see a waterfall I recommend it since you’re already in that neck of the woods!
